There are no B clarinet parts in the Requiem, K. 626. There are only
basset horn parts, though a new edition of the Requiem by Robert Levin
has the clarinets switch to A clarinets for the Sanctus and then back
to basset horns for the Osanna fugue.

Both basset horn parts are for instruments in F, though basset horns
in G did exist at that time.
